Felco secateurs??

Now, I thought Sandvik were Swedish.:thumb: Not sure about Felco, though they do own the company which produces the Swiss Army Knife.:D

 

They are French, makers of the best loppers.

 

Who are?

 

Sandvic Bacho

 

So, Sandvik are French, That explains why the Chairman of the Board is named Clas Ake Hedstrom, the President and CEO is Lars Pettersson. And 2 of the main shareholders are, AB Industrivarden and Svenska Handersbanken`s Pension Foundation.:gnthb:

 

Well my loppers state sandvic Bacho Pradines France.

 

Sandvik are a Swedish company with subsideries in 130 countries. So, the ones you have would be stamped as " Made in France ".:gnthb:

 

I'm guessing but I think what we have here is Sandvik an original Swedish company joined with Pradines of France who have more recently been taken over by Bahco who make ****.

but Felco are definitely Swiss

 

Bahco is owned by Snap-On.

 

I hope they dont gain snap on prices then lol!!

 

Why is it, that all the good tool companies have been taken over by cheap and nasty tool companies, who then go about down grading the quality.
What is the point of taking over a company, just to drag it down.

Thats how it seems to me anyway.

 

David you amaze me, where do you find this kind of very interesting info.:ywn::D

Sandvik always used a fish symbol on their saws, as a trademark, another bit of useless info.:D

 

Just googled Sandvik, Pete.:D:hehe:

 

Thanks to you guys I have just bought a pair of Felco 2's
They better be good or you ar all in big trouble

 

The French were at Harrogate Autumn Show with fabulous loppers.The stall was surrounded with women listening to their accent.I like ratchet pruners I got them at the show.
